I don't understand that at all. Just have a "warning to parents: this is a sandbox game and may feature any shape - including body parts - built from Lego". 99% of parents wouldn't be bothered, surely?

Every kid who has two opposite sex parents knows from toddler-hood what a penis and vulva look like, why is it such a problem??

But imagine telling your licensor "hey we had to put a warning that says players may see inappropriate body parts made out of Lego brand bricks".

That would go over like a lead ballon.

I don't think this is true.

I was speaking loosely, Western socio-cultural background, ignoring edge cases (body image problems like 'never nudes' and such) .. maybe you're right ..

I found it interesting at c.5-6 yo that our kids brought home school slang (new words to me!) for genitalia: showing they were talking about it in a non-scientific context, strongly suggesting they were talking in some way about opposite-sex genitalia with peers.
